        Dear all,

        I am particularly touched by your comments that I have learned a lot from almost each of you along those last months

          Fantastic piece of work, congratulations. I have a lit clos in the sous-sol but it's not as elegant as this.

          PS and greeting from the far west of Bretagne !

            Tips and ruby scripts i've used

            • You want a shape "on the floor" ?: Select it, Cut it (Ctrl+X), or Copy it (Ctrl+C), pickup the Move tool And Glue it (Ctrl+V) where you want: it's on the default floor..

            -in cleaning job it's usefull to show hidden geometry

            -you want a single shape in its 4 directions: put a construction point on it axis, select the shape, use rotate tool inferenced to this point, holding down Ctrl key to copy it,rotate it a quarter, and tape x3 in the VCB(value control box).

            -it's difficult to work on multilevel lines, project them on a face with Didier Bur's Projection tools.

            -use eraser tool to select easily a bunch of lines:
            Quick select edges using the eraser tool!

            -Cleaning is a really hard work, don't forget this technic:
            Searching the better way to split a shape in two.

            And with a very special thanks to our strong rubymakers who made so necessary additionnal tools to SketchUp: Here are the tools i have used in this work:

            Weld v.3.0 by Rick Wilson
            to fixe broken curves and make faces

            Mirror_31.rb by TIG
            Mirrors geometry at plane, line or point.

            Arc Centerpoint by Jim
            Right-click an arc or circle to insert its centerpoint into the model.

            Construction Line Tool by Jim (so handy)

            CurveStitcher v.2.2 by Rick Wilson
            Create edges & faces between two selected curves

            skin Version 2.2 D. Belvin
            A tool that takes selected edges and connects them, weither they are a closed loop or not.

            Dome 1.0 (for the pistil) by Frank Wiesner
            constructs a dome based on a circle (and interior)

            At last but not least: you can't pass over

            Projection tools v6 by Didier Bur

            Joint Push Pull - Visual Edition by Fredo6

            Without forget (!)
            Bezierspline Update 2.0 by Fedo6 (and additional Bezier Segmentor)
            How much it is as an integral tools pack of SketchUp


            What can i say more, just this: Dear SketchUp Community, you are so friendly, i like you.
            Zigmรผnd the good.

                    Goodmorning sketchy fellows. Jeudi 07 Aoรปt 2008

                    I'm on the road again.. for the "Central Panel" summer work.

                    My purpose is trying to deliver here a near of day by day step by step videotut.

                    For today i begin slow with just the challenge presentation: those two pictures.

                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/BritainKiki/BritKiki_01_thumb.jpg
                    _ _
                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/BritainKiki/BritKiki_05_thumb.jpg

                    As i was watching it very acurrately, i felt very surprised to discover that this panel certainly belonged to an older (very older?) furniture. Not only the different veining of the wood, but the carved work is more refined craft, and more damaged. We can therefore imagine that the entire buffet was built around this recovered sculpture. This gives it an additional price to my eyes.

                    If someone is tempted by the exercise, here's the needed zip pictures pack.

                    Britain Kiki.zip

                    Tomorrow (hope to): find the hidden geometry

                        Yes, it is fun and interesting! Looking forward to seeing how you advance.

                          Nice one, Simon! I see that you weren't a perfectionist while cleaning up the geometry but it gives the idea nicely. ๐Ÿ‘

                            Dear Gaieus,
                            I made this way, with a basic circle as a group and simple lines to refer on tools craftsmen were using in those times: ruler, T-square and compass, but no measuring instruments.

                            I made this way in mind to walk through there footprints. And i've drawn the canvas, just close to, to shaw with fun the idea was right.
                            I'm going right now to be extremely accurate to made the entire carved as shown in my avatar picture...

                            Going now to work on the next video, Simon.

                                  And to close this "Summer Work", maybe it will be finding in this vast assembly some of our talented artists interested in making their way a smart rendering of it..

                                  (something that neither I nor my poor PC are able to do.)

                                    T-square and the compass

                                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/Euclide.jpg
                                    Euclid 300 BC: The Euclidean geometry is the geometry of lines and circles. The Euclid intuition was that any number could be built with the help of these two instruments.

                                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/180px-Architectesmedievaux.png
                                    T-square and the compass were the only tools for architecs along more than 1500 years. very few measuring tools was available: rope knots and what else along those times.Elsewhere, units was varying greatly from one region to another. So construct a drawing was consisting, not report measurments but in dividing lines in segments, and reports segments with compass.

                                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/Perpendicular_bisector.gif

                                    The compass was, during this infinite laps of time, the mystic instrument throwing up a bridge between human being and the divine. It knowledge was kept jalously and its secrets only learned from master to disciple..

                                    %(#800000)[But today, Everybody (if he want to with just some strong will ๐Ÿ˜‰) can get this knowledge relatively simply.]
                                    Ruler and Compass Constructions by Ken Brakke

                                    I believe that: one time the first grid was drawn, in matter to define the elemental unit of the drawing,in fact the radius of the elemental circle, the compas was fixed for the all work. And everything was drawn with this value. This way was very opรฉrative for the construction itself because each point could be report with a rope knots as real radius measurement decided at the begining.
                                    I believe also that secret construction points was left in the construction in order to let workers follows themselves in time. A cathedral construction was during easily 100years...
